Afternoon Adventures in the Vegetable Garden

Section 2 Dinner at Wutong Tree Cave

At this time, the sky was getting dark; the rain was still pouring It's raining. The kind-hearted Hui'er was afraid that the rain would wash away the ants, so she picked up a poplar leaf and gave it to the ants to cover the collapsed doorway. However, the ants were still very angry. Hui'er went to help the little caterpillars escape. Everyone was worried. He seemed to be angry and ignored Hui'er.

Xiao Hui'er also knew that she was bored. Watching the ants go home one after another, she also stood up and wanted to walk forward and take a look.

As soon as she turned around, Hui'er tripped over a cane, and a large piece of skin was scratched off her little hand by the branch. She knelt on her knees in the mud, and her little rain boots were soaked with water. Hui'er panicked and shook her little hand. Pine, the little flower umbrella flew away. Hui'er hurried to catch up, but she couldn't catch him.

Where did this branch come from? It turned out that it was the wind that pushed down a crabapple tree. The crabapple tree was half lying there dying, with its branches scattered all over the ground.

Xiaohui got up, packed her raincoat, walked over and asked, Begonia Tree, what’s wrong with you? What can I do to help you?

The Begonia Tree said weakly, Oh, child, you are still too young. I'm fine. My roots are still in the soil. As long as I hold on, I'll be fine when the storm stops.

Xiaohui looked at the half-lying crabapple tree and felt very awkward and asked, "Are you uncomfortable? I'll find a small wooden stick to support you." After that, go find a suitable small wooden stick. Helped the crabapple tree stand up. There was a red begonia next to it and it was very unhappy to see Hui'er helping the green begonia. He smiled and said, Hui'er, you are such a good girl, I will give you a red fruit as a reward!

Hui'er happily took it, opened her mouth and bit it, oh, it was so sour. The saliva came out in a rush. It was so sour, the teeth were a little sore, there was a bit of astringent taste, and the tongue was a little tight. . I just wanted to ask Red Begonia, what's going on, why did the Begonia tree suddenly grow so tall? Oh my god, why am I in the mountains? At this time, Green Begonia opened its eyes and saw Hui'er, ah, no, Hui'er, you ate the fruit of Red Begonia and became smaller.

Hui'er heard that the rumbling sound was Green Begonia, so she hurriedly asked, how can I return to my original appearance? I'm a little scared.

Green Begonia said, I just heard that... Before she finished speaking,

a burst of rain washed away Hui'er. Hui'er struggled in the rain for a while. In her panic, she grabbed something and rolled onto the shore. It was a dirt hole. It was pitch black inside, and there was still the slightest cool breeze blowing by her ears: Where is this? Hui'er was wondering about Ni when she suddenly heard a cooing sound in front of her. Hui'er tiptoed carefully and walked over slowly. Oh my god, he was such an ugly guy. His huge mouth almost reached the back of his head. His eyes were bulging when he closed them.

This guy is so big. If it wakes up and sees me, will it eat me? Hui'er thought with some fear. Look at its huge mouth. It can swallow itself in one bite. It’s so scary. I’d better run away quickly. It happened that there was a small hole not far behind this guy. Hui'er lay down and climbed in quickly.

The cave was getting deeper and deeper, but the cave was getting wider and wider. She could sit up and take a rest. She grabbed a handful of the soft soil and let it go. People feel really comfortable, but the smell is not very good.

At this moment, an earthworm swam over. Hello, welcome to visit my palace. Oh, what a cute little person. How did you get in?

Hui'er said embarrassedly, Dear Mr. Earthworm, I don't know how I got here. I just ate a red fruit on it, and then the rain washed me away. , I struggled, a branch grabbed me, and I ended up here in a daze.

After listening to Hui'er's words, Mr. Earthworm said, oh, oh, listen, what a tortuous story, you are such a pitiful person! Now that you are here, don't worry, I think I will help you out. There must be a way, haha.

Hui'er heard Mr. Earthworm say there was a way, and asked eagerly, "Is there any way? Mr. Earthworm, please tell me quickly!"

Mr. Earthworm curled his lips and said, Hui'er, don't you love playing the most? Why don't you come here and have some fun? Anyway, no one cares about you. If you don’t want to go, let’s play together!

Hui'er saw that Mr. Earthworm didn't want to tell her how to recover, so Hui'er was a little unhappy.

Unwilling to pay attention to Mr. Earthworm, he continued to crawl forward alone.

Okay, okay, I'll show you the way and help you find your way out. After saying that, Mr. Earthworm quickly ran in front of Hui'er and continued, "It's not that I don't want to take you out, but I, I'm afraid of being exposed to the sun."

When Hui'er saw Mr. Earthworm leading the way, she was no longer angry, but she was very curious about what Mr. Earthworm said and asked, "Why are you afraid of the sun?"

Mr. Earthworm lowered his head in embarrassment and continued to walk forward. He was about to leave. He was asking questions. Curiosity can kill people. Angrily walked ahead.

Mr. Earthworm and Hui'er walked together for a long time and turned around five or six corners before they found the exit and pushed aside the earth covering the top. The bright light was a bit dazzling. Hui'er closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a small and exquisite carriage appeared in front of her eyes. The two horses pulling the carriage had golden manes. They were so beautiful. Hui'er couldn't help but scream. .

Who is there? A gentle voice floated over.

The carriage door suddenly opened, a small ladder stretched out, and a little squirrel covered in golden fluff came out of the carriage. Miss Squirrel smiled and said, "Who is there? Since you are here, let's join together." Let’s party!

Mr. Earthworm pushed Hui'er and said, "It seems to be a party. You can go in and have a look. I, I'm not familiar with them, so I won't go there. After that, he turned around and crawled into the hole." .

Hey, Mr. Earthworm, Huier wants to stop Mr. Earthworm. But Mr. Earthworm has disappeared.

At this time, Miss Squirrel also jumped in front of Hui'er, hello, you are so cute, why have I never seen you before? Miss Squirrel tilted her head and looked at Hui'er's head carefully and asked.

My name is Hui'er. I still don't know how I got here. Huier answered honestly. I was just passing by, I was... Before Hui'er finished speaking,

Miss Squirrel said with a smile, "I invite you to come to our party!" My brothers will love you, come in and try some of my mom’s chestnut biscuits!

Hui'er was very grateful to the hospitable and kind Miss Squirrel, and quickly said thank you, thank you, I'm really sorry to bother you.

So, the two of them walked into a tree hole decorated with green, red, and brown rattan. Inside the hole, bursts of cheerful singing came from the squirrel brothers.

Hello everyone, let me introduce our guest, her name is Hui'er. Miss Squirrel introduced Hui'er enthusiastically.

The squirrel brothers rushed over and ran in front of Hui'er. You asked Hui'er one by one, where did you come from? What's your name?

Can you sing? ……………

My name is Hui'er. I was washed into the hole by the rain, and then Mr. Earthworm took me to crawl out of the hole, and I came to you.

As soon as the squirrel father heard that it was Mr. Earthworm, he sneered, oh, it turned out to be the weakling who betrayed Mr. Sun. Hum, if you are with him, it also means that you are not a good person.

Hui'er's face turned red. Why am I not a good boy? I didn't do anything bad. Besides, I don't know Mr. Earthworm's past. We have only known each other for half a day. I...

Squirrel brothers, don’t mind saying that Dad is too caring. Dad Squirrel hates Mr. Earthworm because Mr. Earthworm always talks bad things about others.

I don’t know what Hui’er said. Besides, it is not good to speak ill of your friends behind their back. Although I just met him, he has also helped me. I think he is very good.

Listening to what Hui'er said, Miss Squirrel felt that Hui'er was very kind.

Squirrel's father also felt that Hui'er was a bit cute at this time.

Hui'er was still curious about why Mr. Earthworm was afraid of the sun, so she asked Daddy Squirrel.

Dad Squirrel replied, Actually, it was a long time ago. That year, there were nine suns in the sky, and they all worked peaceful shifts. I don’t know why, but no one was willing to work the night shift, so all nine suns were willing to come out to play during the day. The people who took the exam couldn’t stand it anymore, and the bankers were all Sunburned to death. The elders tried their best to persuade the nine suns, but the suns were very stubborn and annoyed everyone. They went to the brave Mr. Hou Yi and asked him to shoot down the disobedient suns. Hou Yi fully drew his bow and shot Eight, the last sun was so frightened that he hid under the grasshopper, shivering and afraid to go out. But Mr. Earthworm ran over and told Hou Yi that the big guy pulled the sun out, and the kind people asked the sun, you I'll work half a day, and I won't have to worry about you at night. Can you agree?

Tayang said okay, I will work hard in the future and never mess around again. After hearing what he said, Hou Yi was sincere and let the sun go.

So the sun works conscientiously every day. Although the earthworm has good intentions, he is also a betrayer of others and his work is disgraceful. The sun will not spare him, so Mr. Earthworm's descendants can only live underground in shame, trying hard to loosen the soil for trees, flowers and plants to please everyone. snort. After saying that, Daddy Squirrel turned and left the table.
